(27,461 posts)I assumed those soldiers are actually on duty, etc. When I said it might be propaganda, I didn't mean to say it might be faked, I meant that the photo was created for a purpose.
I feel the same way about photos from inside the White House. If the photo was taken by a newspaper photographer, I look at it different than if it was taken by the official White House photographer. Or pictures from wars around the world, some come from newspapers and others come from one side or the other.
The picture in the OP is just posted without any source whatsoever. I'm seeing now that the picture is from earlier, the military has confirmed that, so it looks like someone might have engaged in some unofficial propaganda by posting it as if it was from the current storm (I don't mean the OP, I mean the person who first put it out on the Web).
